During my "Christmas Vacation", I pieced a Disappearing 9 patch for a friend's first grandchild. That was after driving 2500 miles to visit D & SIL in Alabama. Got home, purchased a 2' x 4' adjustable leg table, setup at "child's table height" have finished quilting (pebble stipple all over) and actually gave it to my friend at end of January. Speed record for me! That table made all the difference. Am now working on finishing 2nd maternity top for my daughter, she's in her first trimester and being slender, not too many of her tops are going to last long! waiting for the knit fabric I've ordered, will be making her some more tops and capri pants.
I think my physical comfort made all the difference in my motivation!
Good luck to all. And this quilting board is an awesome place to refresh, recharge and share. Thank you all!
